Soo Locks, Sault Ste Marie live webcamViews - 1127

The Soo Locks, renowned for their impressive engineering and scale, are considered one of the world`s great wonders. Today, they continue to reign as the largest and busiest waterway traffic systems on the planet. Witnessing the monumental passage of massive vessels through the Locks is an unparalleled experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the United States. Comprising two canals and four locks, this system enables ships of all sizes and types to traverse the 21-foot drop in elevation of the St. Mary`s River, connecting Lake Superior to Lakes Michigan and Huron safely. Visitors can watch in awe from viewing decks as Lakers and Salties (ocean-going vessels) navigate through the seaway between ports and expertly maneuver through the rise and drop of the water levels.
